SALINE HEATING APPARATUS.

Application led May 5, 1923. Serial No. 636,963.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ELIZABETH RICHARD- soN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Oklahoma City, in the county of Oklahoma and State of Oklahoma, have invented a certain new and useful Invention in Saline Heating Apparatus, of which the following is a specilication, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to a saline heatin apparatus for giving hypodermoclysis and proctolysis.

Essentially the invention consists in the sub or super heating of a saline fluid preparatory to injection; although the invention may be so arranged that a primary direct heating may be accomplished by the invention per se.

Other objects of the invention will appear from a further and more complete reading of the following detailed description.

On the sheetof drawings, accompanying this specification,

Figure 1 is an elevational viewof the arrangement for treatment including the invention, and

Figure 2 is a sectional view in elevation of the invention.

The standard 3, upon which the water bottle or container 4 is hung is provided with a hook 5 for the same, and the usual appurtenances, including the tube 6 are provided in the usual manner. Intercepting the tube 6 and the nozzle or 'feeder 7 is a heater., of any suitable order or arrangement, designated ina general way by 8, fed by a line 9 associated with the usual socket 10.

This heater 8 comprises a shell 11 of such suitable material as, for instance, aluminum, having nippled ends 12 and 18, forming abutments to receive insulating nipples 15 and 16 suitably corrugated at the tree ends thereof to receive the ends of the tubes running from the bag and from the nozzle.

Within this casing running axially thcrethrough is a tube of suitable material such 21S-17, and surrounding this tube is a heating coil 18 'so associated with the socket 19 as to receive the current from the line 9 when connected. A heating coil'QO which may be called the secondary coil is associated with the usual snap switch 21 formed in connection with the socket 19 and when more heat is desired, this line or coil 2O may be thrown into circuit.

It will now be seen that means are provided for the heating or the rehcating at will of a stream of water before issue from a nozzle, for medical use.

Having thus described this invention, l claim:

In a device of the character described, a shell with nippled ends, an axial tube running through the shell, a heating coil surrounding the tube in the shell, a socket extended laterally from the shell and a secondary heating coil surrounding the tube in the shell, and a snap switch in the socket and with which the secondary coil is connected.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my 70 hand this April` in the year of our Lord. nineteen hundred and twenty-three.

ELIZABETH RICHARDSON.
